No_ss build thread
I figured since I'll be doing quite a few things to my car this year I would make one of these as well.
Here's the history and what not:
Bought my car on March 25th, 2015, GMS1 and clutch masters stage 3 clutch in the car when I bought it.
I then got PandaTuned and just bought new headlights because the old ones were hideous and I also straight piped along with ZZP Drilled and slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads
Then my intercooler went pop because 25psi tune, so I bought a TR10 with a Treadstone hot side pipe.
My car stayed like this for a while on Pandas tune. I then took the fender stripes because I started to hate them
then I bought HPTuners recently and started tuning with KMO43 on 93 and put down 320whp and 385wtq with a minor fuel leak at the time.
Then I bought BC Racing Type BR coilovers and installed them. They were used but they were such a good deal I couldn't pass them up and it came with all new tools and new sway bar endlinks.
Then recently I went wingless and lowered the rear just a slight bit more
Recently I started the process of polishing my wheels, I saw Wert842's wheels and that's what inspired me to do mine. Currently in the process.
So far I've only hit 1 wheel with 400 grit.
I'm getting 2 245/40 NT05 tires later this week since my continentals are bald.
I'm also on E47 now
Future mods: southbend stage 4+ clutch and fidenza flywheel and new TOB since mine is dead lol then stage 1 cams with fuel lobe and Opel injectors so I can run full E85 and go all out on k04 then save for a 7163.
All current tuning done by KMO43 and so far my fastest 60-100 has been 5.3sec

ok this is very important, how are you going to use the car?
Daily Driver/Circuit?
or
Drag Racing?
He is ready for both right now but you might have different goals and reliability/Drivability requirements, specially if you are building a Street/Circuit car like me. I am finishing my build and spent a little over 8k myself over 2 years and 4 months. Mine is for Street/Circuit and I project spending 1.4k more before I finish. The costs will depend on your ability to get things done yourself. Lucky for us, this site haves plenty of knowledgeable folks that will chip in with advice

Florida = mostly flat roads but 100% ******* drivers. The bigger the city here the worse it gets. My city has been getting bigger cause FGCU made us the icon "dunk city" and there's too many people with too much money that vacation here.
